Paul Konerko has a 'hand injury' that has been bothering him, he sat the last 3 game, and only had 10 at bats in the whole week. I kinda wish Jim Thome would get a 'hand injury.' This Sox team is actually pretty decent. The pitching this week was phenomenal, and the hitting can't continue to be this bad....right? Unless of course Carlos Quentin can continue to carry this offense on his back, but he can't really do that....can he? Gavin Floyd threw a complete game, but in the 5th he gave up a homer, walk, hit, walk and 2 hbp to score the 3 runs in that inning, which were the only runs he gave up in a 3-1 loss.

So lets say...The offense gets better, and the pitching slows down a bit, this team is still better than average and has a chance to win this (weak) AL Central. OR! We could clone Carlos Quentin and have him play every position. Then we can move Chris Zorich to linebacker. Yea! So in conclusion, Devin Hester, you are ridiculous!
